Photographer's Note

After a couple of weeks of absence, I am back from Spain. Spent 9 days travelling around with my parents, although I am very very disappointed with my photos there.

This is my very late contribution to the war of the windmills which was started by fellow trekearther Jose which was a combat between Portuguese and Dutch windmills, although each country got surprise allies.

This is the town of Consuegra in Castilla la Mancha, whhere several windmills line in front of a castle and could have served as inspiration to Cervantes to write Don Quijote.

Daniel,
Attractive stuff. Atmospherically cold and miserable looking and that matches the silvery blue colour tones.
I like the inclusion of the passing car with it's headlights shining. Makes me envision what it would be like to travel here
Cheers

This is an haunting image of windmills that you've captured. The fog, a light drizzle, and the head lights of a car approaching work in concert to create a masterpiece. Bravo. Greetings from Virginia, Bulent

Hi Daniel,
a very nice shot. The mist is great for the atmosphere and the car with the reflections of the lights gives your image the appearance of a film scene. Maybe the modern Don Quijote inside the car.
Good job,
Nino

This is a very good picture and I like a lot the mystique ambience created by the fog. I think Cervantes could not be happier. The car’s light only reminds us that it is a today’s picture. Well done.

Hi Daniel,
Fantastic mood and a very good composition. Adding the car was not my first option, but looking at it a bit longer i noticed that it really works to fill the more empty part on the right.
Love these kind of pictures, brings out a certain feeling of peace...very nice..!!!

Hola,
Wonderful photo.The weather conditions (bad luck or good luck?)makes it even more interesting and unusual for this place.
I even like the car like but the crane is disturbing a little.
Anyway, awsome and beautiful.
Regads,

So these are the famous windmills from Don Quixote? They do look a bit monstrous, I can see why they could make good targets for a crazy guy to charge at;) Beautiful blusish mood, nicely punctured by the headlight of that car. I scanned this from left to right and the mist made me feel lie it wasa dream then the lights woke me up. Its a cool detail, very good inclusion, and you could have just waited 3 seconds and lost that. The only thing I wish is that you didnt crop the arm of the windmill at the top.

Hi Daniel,
Outstanding picture, misty, foggy and a little bit scarry. Without the mist it could be nice photo but all the atmosphere was builded by the mist and the lonely car...
So, this is a scene looking more like from spanish thriller than remembering Don Quixote story...
Well done,
regards,
maki

what a coincidence, Daniel, some days ago i uploaded an image of a windmill just because of the ended war.
Your photo is absolutely great. the blue mist, the car giving movement and scale and the sober composition.
excelent work, excelent.

Hi Daniel - I have always seen photos of these windmills under bright sunny skies, this makes a nice change, the dark mist gives it a good atmosphere and hides the crane, the weather was not a negative influence in this case (unlike at Cirque de Gavarnie)

hi Daniel, long time:-)It sure is a view that might have inspired Cervantes. are these dillusions of a mad man that we see or real windmills..the fog is very effective at creating a mysterious atmosphere, and the bluish tonation...like from a thriller. great photo!
best regards
